Political Rights of Women

| Wednesday, December 7, 2011 | 0 comments

STUDY ISLAM - According to Surah At-Tawbah, Ch.9, Verse No.71,
"The men and the women they are friends (supporters) of each other". [QS. At-Tawbah 9:71]
Supporters not only Socially, even Politically. Politically, men and women should support each other.

Women can even take part in law making.
And according to the famous Hadith in which Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he was discussing with the Sahabas, and considering putting an upper limit on the ‘Meher’, since young men were discouraged from getting married - a lady from the back seat she objected and said When the Qur’an says in Surah Nisa Ch.4, Verse No.20 that… ‘you can even give a heap of treasure, a heap of gold in ‘Meher’, when Qur’an puts no limit on ‘Meher’, who is Umar to put a limit (may Allah be pleased with him). And immediately Hazrat Umar (peace be upon him) said ‘Umar is wrong and the lady is right’.

Imagine, she was a common lady. If it would have been a famous lady, the name of the lady would be mentioned in the Hadith. Since the Hadith does not mention the name of the lady, we can understand that the lady was a common lady. Means, even a common lady can object to the ‘Khalifa’, the head of the state. And in technical terms it would be called that ‘she is objecting to the breach of the constitution’, because Qur’an is the constitution of the Muslims. That means a woman can even take part in law making.

Women have even taken part in the battle fields
There is a full chapter in the Sahih Bukhari mentioning women in the battle field. Women gave water, they give first aid to the soldiers. Because the Qur’an says ‘Man is the protector of the ‘Woman’. Under normal circumstances, the women should not go to the battle field. It is the duty of the man. Only when required, under necessity are women allowed, and they should go to the battle field if they want. Otherwise you’ll have the same position as you are having in the USA.

Women in USA are Not Safe
In USA women were allowed to join the battle since 1901 but they were not allowed to take active part. They only played the part of a nurse. Later on after the ‘Feminist Movement’ had started in 1973, the ‘Feminist movement’ demanded ‘Why aren’t women allowed to take active part in the battle field?’ So the American government allowed women to take active part in the battle field.

And according to a report of the Defense Department of America, which was released on the 23rd of April, 1993 it said that, ‘90 people were sexually assaulted in a convention, out of which 83 were women and 117 officers were charged with in disciplinary action’. Imagine in one convention only, 83 women sexually assaulted. What was the crime of those 117 officers? They made the women run and they snatched at their clothes. They made them parade absolutely nude without even covering the genital parts. They were made to have sex in public.

Is this what you call ‘Women’s rights’? If you think that this is what is ‘Women’s right’, then you can keep your rights to yourselves. We do not want our sisters, our daughters our mothers to be sexually assaulted.

And there was a uproar in the parliament and the President, Bill Clinton, he himself had to  apologize publicly and he said, ‘Necessary action will be taken’. And you know what happen when politicians say ‘necessary action will be taken'.

So Islam allows women to take part in the battle field only when required. But there also they should maintain their Islamic dress and the Islamic ethics, and their modesty.

USA Has One of the Highest Rates of Rape
United States of America is supposed to be one of the most advanced countries of the world. It also has one of the highest rates of rape in any country in the world. According to a FBI report, in the year 1990, every day on an average 1756 cases of rape were committed in U.S.A alone. Later another report said that on an average everyday 1900 cases of rapes are committed in USA. The year was not mentioned. May be it was 1992 or 1993. May be the Americans got ‘bolder’ in the following years.
